Description
Product Overview of 4TB Internal Hard Drive
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 is a 4TB internal hard drive designed for enterprise use. It is part of the Seagate Constellation ES.3 series and comes with a SAS-6GBPS interface, a 7.2K RPM rotational speed, and a 128MB buffer. In this article, we will explore the technical specifications of the Seagate ST4000NM0043 4TB 7.2K RPM SAS-6GBPS 128MB Buffer Internal Hard Drive and explain them in simple terms.
Storage Capacity
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes, which is equivalent to 4,000 gigabytes or 4,000,000 megabytes. This amount of storage makes it ideal for storage-intensive applications, including video files, high-resolution images, and databases.
Rotational Speed
The ST4000NM0043 hard drive has a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM, which means that the disk platters inside the drive rotate 7,200 times per minute. The higher the rotational speed of a hard drive, the faster it can read and write data. A higher RPM also means that the drive can access data stored on different parts of the disk more quickly.
SAS Interface
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface to connect to a computer’s motherboard. SAS is a high-speed interface that provides a fast and reliable connection between the hard drive and the motherboard. The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive supports SAS-6GBPS, which means that it can transfer data at a maximum rate of 6 gigabits per second.
Buffer Size
The ST4000NM0043 hard drive has a buffer size of 128MB. The buffer is a small amount of high-speed memory located on the hard drive that stores frequently accessed data. By storing this data in the buffer, the hard drive can access it more quickly, which improves overall performance.
Form Factor
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive has a form factor of 3.5 inches, which is the standard size for desktop computer hard drives. The 3.5-inch form factor is larger than the 2.5-inch form factor used in laptop hard drives, which means that the Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive cannot be used in laptops or other portable devices.
Reliability
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive is designed for use in enterprise environments, which means that it is built to be highly reliable. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1.4 million hours, which means that it is expected to operate reliably for a long period of time. The hard drive also features Seagate’s PowerChoice technology, which helps to reduce power consumption and extend the life of the drive.
Data Transfer Speed
The ST4000NM0043 hard drive has a maximum data transfer rate of 600 MB/s. This speed is achieved through the SAS-6GBPS interface, which provides a high-speed connection between the hard drive and the motherboard.
Noise and Vibration
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive is designed to operate quietly and with minimal vibration. It uses Seagate’s PowerChoice technology to reduce power consumption and heat generation, which helps to keep the drive running cool and quiet. The hard drive also features Seagate’s RAID Rebuild technology, which helps to reduce the amount of time it takes to rebuild data in a RAID array, minimizing the impact on system performance.
Encryption
The Seagate ST4000NM0043 hard drive features self-encrypting drive (SED) technology, which helps
